Have you perfected your ice cream recipe? Let us be the judge!
If you like to make homemade ice cream, then why don’t you enter the Ice Cream Contest…you have nothing to lose and possibly $75 bucks to win! The Chamber of Commerce will present The 8th Annual Texas State Champion Homemade Ice Cream Freeze-Off on Saturday, June 13th at 4:00 on the Civic Center Grounds. It is absolutely FREE to enter your freezer of ice cream…all you have to do is fill out an entry form and have your ice cream ready to be judged at 4:00 on the 13th! If you would rather just eat ice cream, than make it, then make plans to join us for only $3 for all-you-can-eat ice cream! For more information and entry forms, either call us at 903-885-6515 or stop by our office at 300 Connally Street!
